We have little concern that the cable could be ripped from the earcup thanks to its cloth wrap and rubber connection, but its proprietary nine-pin connector ensures you'll be stuck to Turtle Beach for replacement cables.
We were a bit disappointed that the connection didn't come at the hands of a 30-pin jack or Lightning port, but overall the unit worked quite nicely in our limited time with it.
That will make it difficult for Democratic incumbents to pin the "party of no" tail on their opponents, who can plausibly claim no connection to the mess in Washington.
